It's also buffered. Most memory from a U5/10 will not work properly in 
an AXi. It has to do with the 10 v 11 column issues (which I do not 
understand).

Also note that AX and AXe memory is not compatible either.

I went through this hell with my AXi when I bought it 5 years ago.

James: I might have 4 128MB DIMMs here for an AXi. Let me look. Ping me 
off-list.

Nope not even close to the same.
